If you go the 9X rtoute - my personal recc'n is to not buy the Turnigy where module is hard wired in ... but a version that module is removeable. Replace with FrSky module / Rx ...

Total price will STILL be way below others and you have a rock-solid system that many have good use out of. The FrSky people are developing way ahead of others Telemetry and other aspects of RC control ... Think of the FlySky Tx - as that is the actual factory name before it gets rebranded - as the base sytem to do as you want with ... unlike higher priced gear where you cannot alter / modify / customise.

Never heard of this one, a Chinese product right? If it is, is might seem cheap, but it wonīt be if you lose aeroplanes why donīt you stay with a good brand, it may be cheaper in the long run.

I mean no disrespect to you, or name brands, so my apologies if I come across that way.

There are tons and tons of posts about both Spektrum and Flysky radios. There are tons and tons of "I'm using Spektrum and I lost my plane" posts and not so much about Flysky. I do understand the whole market share and number of people using Flysky, and the other factors. But my point is name brand does not mean better than no name brands. Also price my not be the best deciding factor. Meaning you shouldn't only go on low price, or come to the conclusion that a $400 tx is any better or worse than a $40, just because it is $400.

Disclaimer:
I am by no means implying Flysky is better than Spektrum, but I will say that I'm quite comfortable with using my Flysky radios.

Does everyone here drive a Rolls Royce or Cadillac ? Bet there's a load of 'budget' car owners out there ... just like me.

Thanks for all of your opinions. So, it comes down to what I like, how it feels in my hands, and most importantly how reliable they are. I've started saving $$$ for a radio, motor, and esc. I will share what I plan to buy when it comes to that time.

I was looking at the FrSky rx and the cool telemetry data. Would that show on the FS-9x LCD screen??? That would seal the deal for me.

Yes, if you make it. Possibly the most active thread in this section is about the FlySky radio modifications. For telemetry some fine soldering needs to be done. 2 resistors need to be removed, two more added in and soldered to the pins of a small microcontroller.

Off hand I don't know what all information you can get on the screen, like all the info on the DHT-U screen, as I only watch signal strength and battery voltage.

Actually you can do the mod without removing the resistors (just cutting traces and using existing). It is unnerving to do if you are not familiar with electronics (and certainly was for me as my eyesight just plain sucks).

Sweet! Do you have a link or instructions with pictures on how to do this?
